But there were no "puddles" of anything left under your car, correct? That smoke might very well be a red-herring that was the result of the engine not cranking right because the trans is locked/jammed on it, maybe a backfire,
oil spritz out the breather, who knows. I know you think your car is "trashed," but it very well could be something pretty simple once they pull the trans away from the engine and have a look-see.
